June 5, 1986|By Gary Enos, Staff writer

After hearing of his daughter`s death, the father of the North Lauderdale girl who was killed by her former boyfriend fired two shots at the front door of the house where his daughter had lived, according to police.

A witness saw Arthur Schmidt, a Fort Lauderdale police officer, walking toward the North Lauderdale home of Cristie Lynn Schmidt`s mother and stepfather, in the 6400 block of Southwest 10th Street, less than three hours after Cristie, 16, was killed on Monday.

The witness called police after hearing what sounded like two shots, North Lauderdale police Sgt. Robert Manfre said.

Officers found two bullet holes in the front door.

A North Lauderdale police report states that Schmidt admitted to firing the shots.

According to Manfre, charges will not be filed unless a request is made.
